As well as performing their The Girl from Tiger Bay routine, many of the XS A and B team men appeared in the opening ceremony, partnering debutantes dancing the polonaise.A video of our 2015 performance is available here.

Charity
Several doctors are members of XS Latin, and so the teams were enthusiastic when asked to help Hinchingbrooke Hospital raise funds for their children’s unit. A charity dinner was combined with a Strictly Come Dancing competition, in which XS dancers performed with their ‘celeb’ partners (doctors and nurses from the hospital) in the hope of winning the glitterball! The competition judges included XS Latin Coach, David Mallabone. The evening included a performance of The Girl from Tiger Bay and raised over £2000 for charity. “Wow! What a fabulous evening…. The atmosphere was magical, and the dancing superb…absolutely brilliant and a joy to watch.” – Anne-Marie Hamilton, Chairman of Dreamdrops fund-raising committee.
